EWA, VLC & live stream

[drugstore_cowboy]

I was recently reading an article about a guy who had a CarPC and one of the cool things he did using VLC. He managed to stream through his web interface (much like EWA does today) a live feed (perhaps it was time shifted) where he could change the channel. This thought seemed very very cool because now my cable subscription is not limited to just my house. If I happen to be at work and I am on my lunch hour I could in therory logon to my EWA, change the channel on one of my tuners, and stream the noon hour news !! Or say I am over at a friends house who only has basic cable and we want to watch the game... Ta da...

Ahh the digitial age is so amazing. Uncle John is this something that would be possible? or something that might be considered?

Thanks again for a great plugin

You can sort of do this now. Start a show recording using the EWA Guide and then start streaming that recording.

To change channels you'd have to cancel the current recording and start a new one on a new channel and then stream that recording.

Yep....that is what you have to do at this point...I have on my todo list to make a "stream now" option that will allow you to click and start watching the stream.
